Write a short essay of not less than 80 words in English according to the topics given below and the Chinese outline.

Nowadays, no matter where you are in the city or even in the countryside, you can easily find one or two signs introducing products. This is becoming more and more popular in our daily life. Whether the influence of advertising is good or bad can be tested by the following methods.

We will start by talking about the advantages of advertising. First of all, advertising is informative, which provides customers with a way to get the products they need quickly. Take me for example. I am a new resident of Guangzhou, a metropolis in the south of China. When I first moved to this city, I didn't know where to buy the necessities of a new house. Thanks to the advertisements in TV and newspapers, almost all the goods, from furniture to household appliances, were solved within a week. Secondly, consumers can expect to get the best price by comparing the prices and specifications of goods advertised by different suppliers.

However, advertising involves some defects, and I want to list two of them here. At first, the popularity of advertisements increased with the increase of design layout and more frequent appearance in the market. The cost will definitely be passed on to the customers. In addition, Generation Y may lose their individuality, because many of them buy the same goods advertised in the media for a certain period of time, which makes them look very similar.

After the above analysis of advantages and disadvantages, I tend to favor the positive influence. Undoubtedly, nothing is more important than living in a society where ordinary people can enjoy the convenience and competitive price brought by commercial advertisements. I believe that the negative impact can be minimized through sustainable economic growth and education.
